Grant and Funding Programs Offered by The 200 Foundation

The 200 Foundation is a philanthropic organization that mobilizes donations from individuals, businesses and community leaders in order to channel financial support to front‑line nonprofit organizations. Through grants and targeted contributions, it helps community groups and human‑service agencies strengthen programs that respond to basic needs such as food, shelter, health and social inclusion.

The foundation typically acts as an intermediary and amplifier: it organizes fundraising initiatives and events, then redistributes the proceeds to a portfolio of charitable partners whose missions align with its priorities. Beneficiary organizations are usually registered nonprofits serving vulnerable populations in the foundation’s geographic area.

The 200 Foundation focuses its giving on practical, high‑impact interventions that improve quality of life for people facing economic hardship or social exclusion. Support can take the form of direct grants, sponsorship of specific projects, or contributions that help charities expand or stabilize essential services.

While the level of formality in its programs may vary over time, the foundation generally reviews requests or proposals to ensure that recipient organizations demonstrate solid governance, clear objectives and measurable benefits for their communities. Priority is given to initiatives that make efficient use of limited resources and that collaborate with other local partners.

The 200 Foundation’s funding primarily benefits community‑based organizations working with low‑income individuals, families in crisis, people experiencing homelessness or food insecurity, and others in vulnerable situations. By aggregating donations and redistributing them through grants, the foundation enables smaller charities to access resources they might not be able to raise on their own, thereby increasing the resilience of the local social‑service network.
